M1101 Axle Swap for JKU

[Tlucero31]

I have a 2009 Schutt M1101. I’m trying to decide on an axle swap or doing an electric conversion with hubs so I can run the same wheels as my JKU. A few trailer shops around here told me they can’t go smaller than 6 lug on the axle. I’m lost as this is the opposite of my line of work and I’m not the most mechanical inclined.
Has anybody done a full axle swap to run 5x5. If so what’s you go with and do you have the measurements you used to purchase the new axle. Any help is greatly appreciated. I thought I saw a swap on a forum but I can’t seem to find it anywhere.

I did a 5x5 axle swap on a military trailer. Trailer part super store had the following parts. I went with no brakes. And used wheel spacers to get my dodge front wheel drive lined up right. Youll need to ream spring plates out as my spring pinwas bigger than hole. Also i had to cut old u bolts off.

Did you solve your problem? I did a full
axle swap on a M1101 a couple years ago. It wasn’t too difficult. Torsion axle, electric brakes, parking brake. Using the same wheels as my JKU.
